If, at the next adjustment, you see less than 1.5 turns to zero lash, that points to lifter wear. More than 1.5 turns suggests valve stretch or seat recession.
Dinddingding-Give the man a Kewpie doll! This is my opinion exactly. The nice thing about valve adjusting with hydros is that you need only set your crank to position and then do your loosen/backout count/reset count to 1.5, lather rinse repeat. No need to hold a guage in place. Takes about 10 minutes for the whole works once you get the hang of it.
Even the solids become breezy when you do them a couple times.
